’m sharing #Shortlist in my life as part of a Shortlist sponsored series for Socialstars™

It is no secret that I love beauty products. I love trying new products! There aren’t many products that I continually purchase. Not because I don’t love them, but because I love trying new things! Because my skin is constantly going through changing routines as I try different products, I have been on the look for products with really simple ingredients. I have tried a few that just haven’t felt up to par with previous skincare products that I have used, but I finally found a simple skincare system that I have been really enjoying!

I absolutely love trying new products! There are quite a few companies who send me things that I try out on my own and either decide to share or not to share with you. I have decided to start sharing some of my first impressions with you guys as I try new things though so you can see my completely honest, first try of products that you might be interested in trying for yourself! Today’s products are from Aveda!

There are several days each week that I like to start my mornings with a bowl of oatmeal. I love how it just seems to stick to my ribs and keep me full on even my busiest of days. Oatmeal of course is full of health benefits when you eat it, but it is also full of goodness for skin too!

I live in a really dry area. The winters are so hard on my skin! My poor husband has it even worse than I do. His hands get so dry that they crack and bleed frequently during the winters. We are constantly on the lookout for a lotion that will help our skin and we finally found a solution!

The new Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Healing Serum works hard to reverse dry skin. It has worked miracles on my skin. They are full of highly concentrated healing ingredients to really add moisture to dry skin. The Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum comes in three different varieties. It comes in Advanced Relief, Radiance Restore, and Deep Repair. You can choose the type that fits your needs the most. It is almost like having a custom serum for your skin! [Read more…]

Having healthy skin is important. I think we forget about our skin’s health until it is too late. The skin that we focus on the most, is our facial skin, but treating our entire body is important! It is really important to use body lotion with SPF to protect our skin from harsh sun rays that can damage not only the appearance of our skin, but can give us skin cancer! SPF can help prevent all of that! It is also important to use a salt scrub that helps get rid of the impurities in your skin to make your skin look and feel gorgeous. That is why I was so excited to try out the Tree Hut Raspberry Macadamia Daily Defense Cream and Tree Hut Fig & Olive Detoxifying Mediterranean Salt Scrub.

I tried the salt scrub first. You apply this while you are in the shower and it helps remove toxins and impurities from your skin, while also treating dry skin. It is like a miracle treatment!

My skin instantly felt fresh. I loved how luxurious feeling the scrub was too. I almost felt like I was in a day spa (with the exeption of the toddler toys in my shower). I would recommend using this scrub every other day in the shower. You will feel like a totally new person and your skin will thank you for it!

As much as I loved the salt scrub, I loved the DD Cream even more! This stuff is incredible! My skin gets extremely dry because the climate I live in is practically a desert. The winter takes a huge toll on my skin and it really doesn’t get back to feeling healthy until the middle of summer. I kid you not, this cream made my skin feel different right away. I could feel the moisture in my skin hours later. This is the best cream I have ever used on my skin. It wasn’t heavy or greasy and it is full of SPF too so it protected my skin from the sun all day long.

I love that both of these have certified organic shae butter in them and that they aren’t tested on animals either. Huge bonus! You can find both of these at ULTA (aka my home away from home).
